ANTI-WAR campaigners today rejected “complete rubbish” from Sir Keir Starmer as he demanded further European militarisation.
Speaking ahead of an emergency summit in Paris, the Prime Minister said he would be urging European leaders “to step up” in replacing US military support for Ukraine, including by potentially deploying troops following a ceasefire.
The summit was hastily called over the weekend as the United States meets with Russia to discuss a possible ceasefire deal and European leaders scramble for strategy following the US U-turn on Ukraine. The US invited neither Ukraine nor any western European ally to join its talks with Russia on a settlement.
